Following is the method to tell you how to enter into LG Incite Emergency Download Mode, this mode will help you to connect your LG Incite to your computer and use flashing tools (e.g. LGDMP) to restore or change your firmware. I am pretty sure it can get your phone working again if it is bricked. Good luck. LG Phone Problem and Solution

How to enter into LG Incite Emergency Download Mode Steps:

Turn off the LG Incite

Remove the battery from the phone

Hold down volume down button + lock button

Connect your phone to PC using the USB cable

Check the front LED is green and the screen displays “Emergency download.”

Caution: Remember to backup your files before flashing. This will erase all of your personal data. LG-Incite info

Step 5: With your still connected Incite, open the iGO8 folder in the root of your SD card that you just copied over. You will need to copy 4 files from your map to various folders within the "content" folder of the iGO8 folder. From your map folder, copy the files into these areas:

StorageCard\iGO8\content\building\ Building files ending in .3dc (3D building) and .3dl (3d Landmark) go in this folder.

StorageCard\iGO8\content\map\ The Map file with the .fbl extension goes in here.

StorageCard\iGO8\content\poi\ Point of interest files go in here, ending with .poi.

DO NOT TOUCH THE OTHER FOLDERS. I WILL MURDER YOU IN YOUR SLEEP IF YOU TOUCH THE OTHER FOLDERS.

Step 6: You may now unplug your phone. In your install, I have included several language files and voice files for you to choose from, so should you get any errors for those, explain the error below and we’ll try to help out.

Step 7: Open your File Explorer and run the GPSGate cab file that you copied over earlier, installing GPSGate to your incite. Run GPSGate after this, pressing the ">" button to let it search and find your connection. If I recall, it opened up port 2 on my Incite (remember this for iGO). Baud didn’t matter, it opened them all.

Step 8: Once GPSGate successfully finishes, use File Explorer to navigate to the iGO8 folder in your SD card, then run iGO8.exe. Turn Advanced mode on, then go into "Settings", then "GPS". Select your port as port 2, with any Baud you like. It should say something to the effect of "GPS Connected Successfully" on the top of the screen.

Step 9: Go back to the home screen and enjoy your new GPS!

Step 10: (Optional) Create a shortcut of the iGO.exe program to the Windows\Start Menu\Programs folder. Use file explorer on your phone to create the shortcut. (Thanks Homerwasa)

PS: If you have issues with your satellite losing signal, make sure your iGOGPS is set to "Backlight Always On" and turn your accelerometer off while using and it shouldn’t be an issue.
